Are you sure they were wired correctly? Both the front and rearare 3-wire, and the majority (that I've seen), of aftermarket signals are 2-wire. The three wire allows them to be markers as well as turn signals (meaning they'll be on when you're not using them and flash when you are).

You may have shorted your turn signal relay if you wired them wrong. Double check. If you need a manual with the wiring diagram, lemme know.

anytime you use a bulb that uses less power than stock, such as an led, they will blink a hell of alot faster. Probably just need to add a resistor to the positive led of the light. Mine blink like crazy but i like it because people seem to take notice better.

Are your new indicators LED? If they are, and, you really can't live with the fast blinking, you'll need to install a resister somewhere on the line, but, if I recall correctly, use cation, as to I've heard that they get hot.

I upgraded my taillight and signals to an integrated tail from ClearAlternatives, and, the signals blink alot faster than before, but, as stated, it gets alot more attention.

You may want to check your ground too. If its not grounded, that will let them blink faster. But what the other guys said sounds righ too, they know from experience
